Representation by Jenny Kidd

Representation by Jenny Kidd

Examining one of the core themes of media and cultural studies, Representation introduces students to a range of methodologies for analysing media texts.

"This book charts new and competing realities coming together to shape culture, society and people in powerful ways through media representationTo focus upon ‘representation’ is more important now than ever before. 'Produce' or 'be produced' goes the saying, and this book offers unique ways of evaluating the representational strategies at play."

Joanne Garde-Hansen, Associate Professor Culture, Media and Communication, University of Warwick

"Jenny Kidd's extraordinary intellect, wit and scholarship remind us that representation is always contested. Her lively discussion of ethical considerations wrought evermore complex by a continually evolving media landscape are noteworthy for their commitment to the human qualities which drive us to conceptualise both media and representation. Her discussions of ‘under’ and ‘mis’ representation offer genuine insights into the construction of meaning in a media-saturated global environment. A reader for generations to come."

Angelina Russo, Professor of Cultural Practice, Centre for Creative and Cultural Research, University of Canberra
